Grischa’s May ’23 Retreat Week (Allgäu, Germany)

Grischa's Ashtanga Retreats

Experience the magic of daily practice with Grischa, the founder of Ashtanga Yoga Berlin in 2004. His retreats are known to be very intense and transformative. It may not seem easy to get up at 6 and digest 10 hours of Yogic teaching and practice every day for a whole week. But hey, we're Ashtangies, aren't we? This training is in English unless all participants speak German.

Ashtanga Intensive on all levels

The foundation of this Ashtanga retreat is the practice of rarely taught internal principle aspects of the Ashtanga practice in Mysore Style, pranayama, meditation, sanskrit and yogic wisdom. We will explore the finer aspects of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system which make a dramatic difference. Learn the deeper meaning of breath and bandhas to understand the inner alignment principles which awaken your inner teacher and totally transform your teaching skills. Most importantly you will understand how all the components of practice are interconnected and how only a complete approach can truly make a difference.

Bhagavad Gita Special

It's not an easy text and there are many disturbing misconceptions about the deep Yogic teachings of it. In this retreat we will take the time for diving deeply into the meaning of Yoga as it is laid out in the famous Bhagavad Gita. Day by day we'll unfold the riddles in this fascinating dialog, the framework in which it is embedded and the meaning of Krishna. We will understand how this approach compares to other texts such as Yoga Sutra. Yet most importantly we will see why Yoga practices must remain empty and aimless without the color of wisdom.
